Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani met Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi on February 24, 2024, to discuss a new strategic partnership between the two companies. As part of the deal, the services of Uber would be integrated into the Adani One mobile app, allowing customers to book a cab to or from the airport.

The Adani Group has no plans to manufacture EVs. Instead, the company will buy electric vehicles and brand them under its name. These vehicles will be deployed on Uber’s ride-hailing platform.

Globally, Uber is in the process of upgrading its ageing fleet with EVs as the company looks to transition into a zero-emission mobility platform before 2040. The partnership is also expected to boost the adoption of EVs in India.

Very interesting. It takes a disruptive giant such as Reliance or Adani Group to push the progress needle forward while navigating all the pitfalls and speed breakers or just steam rolling over all of these obstacles, in a country like India. Never mind all the stuff about lobbying and governmental blessing and all. I personally feel that companies like these have helped change the game and create more convenience for consumers, albeit at a price. Yes, it is also true that in a way consumers may well become captives within their eco-systems. But then, it isn’t that much different from the Apple or Google or Meta eco-systems.
